GigaOM has more thoughts on this...
Here is what I have been able to gather from my sources:
An announcement will likely be made Nov. 13th or Nov. 18th.
Handset makers will use a Google Mobile OS platform.
Google Mobile OS uses a highly optimized Mobile Linux; developers will be able to use a Java Development Kit. Google is said to have developed a highly optimized Java running on top of the OS. (Read our previous post,
Five Facts about Google Phone)
Most major handset makers, with the exception of Nokia (NOK), have devices with Google Mobile OS under development; Samsung and Motorola (MOT) are being linked to it as well. (as are HTC and LG Electronics, according to the Journal.)
The operators who are likely to be part of the big announcement will be T-Mobile’s USA division and Bharti Airtel, one of India’s largest cellular carriers.
interesting... does this mean SE is one of the "most major handset makers"?

Well out of the major mobile OEM's Samsung, Moto and LG are doing and Nokia is not.
Can't see it myself - Sonyericgoog.
What will the googlephone be offering that isn't available already, or is it just seeking to muscle in?

Bharati Airtel India has definitely partnered Google in this...Airtel started showing a 1 minute ad a month ago showing "Google search now available in Airtel".The ad looked expensive compared to normal ads...i even mistook the first 30 sec of the ad for a trailer of the new Indiana Jones movie

I hope Google wont flop like Apple did
Apple entering the mobile industry is just a disaster for the company.

I think it's two differeit situations. Google is releasing an OS that is so far supported by two phone companies unlike Apple releasing their OS and phone that is only in the support of themselves. Google is a very interesting and innovative company.
Google is targeting the business groups unlike Apple, who was targeting for the general public (those who are amazed of animations, transitions, etc.) (Well apple wanted the business share but that didn't happen obviously).
I hope Google will be sucessful.
